Customer Reviews

well i liked it...
i know on here are more bad reviews then good ones but im halfway now and i admit that i really like this book and though it might not live up to lord of the rings. its still not that bad.

Mejor que la pelicula!
Una fantastica narracion y produccion. Mucho mejor y completa que la pelicula. Recomendado para adolecentes.

plagiarism at its pathetic worst, amazing this kid hasn't been sued
If you were a 17 year old and had read Lord of the Rings, The Dragonriders of Pern and the Wizard of Earthsea you might go off and try to mix them into crappy prose.

From McCaffery's dragonrider books:
-the dragons are fully telepathic with their riders
-the dragon dies when its rider dies but not visa-versa
-a dragon will only "bond" with one person

From LOTR:
-Dwarves, elves, men, and "orc" looking things
-evil sorcerers serving a "dark lord"

From Leguin:
-"true names" having magical power
-several characters have EXACTLY the same name and description

etc etc.
If I were any of those authors I would sue the pants off him, and while McCaffery said she was OK with it and even wrote some of the foreword for his first book, the second one encroached even more.

Besides all of these morally-despicable reasons, the prose is awful and clunky.
